    What we asked:

    Q: What aspect of the BG series did you enjoy the most?
    (582 votes total)

    Plot (193) 33%
    Party interaction (121) 21%
    Quests (93) 16%
    Exploration (84) 14%
    Combat (42) 7%
    Other (23) 4%
    Graphics (14) 2%
    Music (12) 2%

    This poll ran for 2 weeks, because the site move which caused significant downtime prevented some people from voting during the first week.

    The majority of people (33%) who voted say that plot was the most enjoyable aspect of the Baldur's Gate series. Despite the fact that some have criticized it in the past, looking at it from the perspective of the whole saga (concluded with Throne of Bhaal), we cannot but say that it is pretty good.

    Party interaction was the second most popular aspect with 21% of people voting for it. This entry was also meant to include romances, although some people have complained in the Comments that they should have been a separate entry... Well I didn't make one intentionally, since there were no romances in BG1 and this poll is supposed to cover BG1 as well.

    In 3rd place by popularity are quests, a favourite of 16% of those who voted. After all, questing is what adventuring is all about, is it not?

    Ah, finally we come to the aspect which was so sorely lacking in BG2, exploration. 14% of people found this to be their most enjoyable aspect, but I suppose most of those who voted for this entry must have been thinking about the original Baldur's Gate, not so much of its sequel...

    Combat is, surprisingly enough, a favourite aspect of only 7% of those who participated in the poll. Since combat was very important throughout the whole series, it makes you wonder if there wasn't a bit too much of it, since not that many people seem to like it much.

    4% of people voted for Other, which would include various things, but mostly romances. (For those who didn't consider them to fall under party interaction.)

    Graphics and music scored 2% of votes each, which makes them the least popular aspect of the series by far.
